Fact! Ken Burns' jazz collections sometimes show a bias to bebop!


Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

You must be careful with this sort of thing people. Don't learn the hard way, like I did: Jazzercise actually has very little to do with jazz.

I'm going to buy a sax the day after I take a viral pathology final next friday, and my semester comes to a close.  Tenor.  I've never even held a saxophone before.

Nice Pete was auditioning for voice acting.  This strip was worth it.

Well ok then.  I was beginning to think that you were split on green... or maybe that you weren't split on green.  Or something.

When I read this strip, I envisioned Nice Pete doing one-armed push-ups while the voice of Sam Kinison on the television says, "'I bet you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose,'" and "You do push-ups 'like old people fuck.'"

maybe it's just me, but if I was going to prescribe a routine for Nice Pete it would be more meth and bill hicks.  that's how i see him going.

It may just be me, but there is a definite camp-ness to Nice Pete in the first 4 panels. Tight vest, hairy chest, the way he playfully rolls the tip of his bic around his mouth. Pete noticed a stranger approach and replaced the handset slowly. "How did you get in?" he said, his attempt at anger barely masking his nervous excitement. "You left the door unlocked," whispered the stranger, "like you always do..."

You know what I mean? Of course if Nice Pete were here now, I'd probably tell him summat diff'rent.

In an interview, Onstad said he draws the strip using Adobe Illustrator.
